"If you bring me a present, I'd be soooo happy. I had one, but a big, fat, ugly Grentch came and took it from me!"

When given a present in town:

"Oh boy, a present! Wow! Thank you so much! My mom says that when someone gives you a gift, it's good manners to give one back, so here is something for you."

Strangely enough humans are one of the rare species whose progeny is visible. The children of other hominids, for instance, are entirely absent. The same remark could be made about the females who also seem absent/hidden in many species.
